I've deleted SYSVOL folder on both DCs (2 DCs, one Domain)
I have both System State backups of the last 7 days
How can i recover my deleted sysvol?
I've followed the procedure on MS KB, restored sysvol to an
alternate
location, but when the dc restarts, it renames the polices and
other
folders, to a NTFRS_<othername> folder
First you need to recreate the SYSVOL structure manualy. A restore of
the structure will also work but creating it manually is safer.
First you need to find out the location of your SYSVOl. Open regedit
and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNtFrsParameters
Replica
Sets<GUID> and check the location of your SYSVOL
Stop the NTFRS service on the DCs the SYSVOL is gone
Recreate the SYSVOL structure according to the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324175
For the permissions of the SYSVOL structure see a clean installed
SYSTEM of use the following article for help:

Junction points can be recreated with the LINKD utility in the
Resource Kit.
Replace all values mentioned the values that apply to your
environment!!!
After recreating the SYSVOl structure start the NTFRS service
Put a TEST file in the scripts directory and see if FRS replication
works. If it works delete the test file and the deletion of the file
should also be replicated
On the DC with the PDC FSMO restore the system state to an alternate
location
(
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...ons/5870556f-be04-4345-acb8-60c6c540f690.mspx).
Copy the complete CONTENTS of the policies directory in the alternate
location to the Policies folder on the SYSVOL
See if the policies replicate to the other DC(s)
Assuming the replication works use the GPOTOOL to check the health of
the SYSVOL and the policies
This should do it, to help you on your way!
Good luck!
